Thanks for the heads up! - The rankings use karma and number of mentions, which for a week basically bring books by top karma users to the top. The actual formula is: book_entry['rank'] = (avg_karma_count * avg_karma + book_en

If there were no links with the title, then they don't get considered. As someone mentioned earlier there is tons of good stuff mentioned without a link, but that requires a whole other level of looking into the data than this hobby pr

Ah, I see what you mean. Well that is another level of digging into the data, love to have the time for that.

Well it is a rank - a simple bayesian avg of number of mentions together with karma of the user. But as someone below mentioned it kind of boils down to the karma of the user who mentioned the book. A good post about that is - http:/&

Sure, now only Amazon, Safari and O'Reilly links are processed, for the rest I'd need to recognize the website, make sure that it is a book and then get some meta.

by leandot 10y ago
That can be done, question is how to recognize id a pdf is a paper or not. A bit trickier than books imho.

by leandot 10y ago
Right now I aggregate weekly, because I was personally interested in getting a digest of the books. This usually is 1 mention per book, rarely 2-3 (I filter same user spamming one link). Will soon code an aggregation for the two years, good
